OOLONG TEA
Oolong tea is semi-fermented, which is one of the reasons it has such a unique character. The semi-fermentation gives the tea a little bit more body than a green tea but less body than a black tea, and gives the flavour a very unique twist. The edges of the leaves are slightly bruised (brownish), to start the oxidation process. Because they are more full-bodied than green teas, oolong teas must not be picked too early or at too tender a stage.
